GW15: Deadline 11:45 Saturday 5th December

I'll get the pencil into work as soon as I've necked a coffee or two

The quill & the HB have concurred on the final result for GW15

With apparent injury crisis death & destruction rife, Arsenal actually did pretty well out of the weekend, while the Manc rivals seemed to not fair so well, with City collapsing to Stoke (despite their starting back line being valued at more than the entire Stoke starting eleven) while at Old Trafford, the PA operator actually had to set an alarm clock to wake everyone up at the final whistle. 

Jamie Vardy, now the the record safely tucked into his sock, decided he’d let his team mates have a chance as Leicester retook top spot & the spoils from the premier league newbie tussle went Watford’s way. 

The Midlands is still partying, as Villa reaped an entire point & the Toon Army took the ‘Pool to task at St James’ Park.

Monday night’s game almost went Palace’s way & it would have, had it not been for that pesky Lukaku

Last action of the GW was Mourinho & Monk nipping down to Aldi in search of a cardboard box that will be kept on standby should they need to clear their desks come the end of next weekend.

Over in fantasy land, a slew of big scores lit up the FPL as the EIB prevented IGM from taking another win on the trot with the final scores thus:

EIB 737 - 622 IGM, giving the EIB a more than welcome +115 point victory for the week & pulling IGM’s overall lead back to +56 points

The is staying in Bristol this week as @mort’s Nobby Nobbs XI hold top spot 

& despite not tinkering with his Eastmids Whizzkids, eastmidswhizzkid (with a large dollop of help from auto subs too) gets the for a chunky 86 points 

In the H2H, the IGM managed a 6 point win (19 to 13) on the week, but still trail in the table by 19 points to the EIB (254 to 235)

@mort’s Nobby Nobbs XI increase the lead at the top to 5 points & so the stays put for at least another week. 

So it seems the furore of pre sales tickets didn’t turn the EIB’s heads too much this week & we were able to fire up the Amstrad midi system in the shed for an after-game knees up
The shindig went almost incident free with the exception of u2lemonman using my prized pencil to spool a slightly chewed C60 cassette back into it’s case after the FFW/ track search button went a bit nuts.
I did take the equipment to the repair shop, where they are still trying to figure out what it actually is. 

All that said, well played everyone & thanks to all for dropping in to add a bit of flavour to the GW. 
Now I’ll set the controls to the heart of the quill for GW16 & see you all in the land of mugs, t shirts & limited numbered Greek box sets

You're all carp ... .. .

Go on Stevie Goff, GLOAT!!

EDIT: That yellow top now has a nice blue cannon sewn on, the crown had been chewed by Charlotte and now resembles a Kung Fu Killing Flying Disc Thing.
